UniProt functional annotation for Q14416

UniProt code: Q14416.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: G-protein coupled receptor for glutamate. Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of down-stream effectors, such as adenylate cyclase. Signaling inhibits adenylate cyclase activity. May mediate suppression of neurotransmission or may be involved in synaptogenesis or synaptic stabilization. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18297054, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22300836, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23129762, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7620613}.
 
Subunit: Interacts with TAMALIN (By similarity). Interacts with HTR2A. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18297054, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22300836, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23129762}.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell junction, synapse {ECO:0000250}. Cell projection, dendrite {ECO:0000250}.
Tissue specificity: Detected in brain cortex (at protein level). Widely expressed in different regions of the adult brain as well as in fetal brain. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18297054}.
Similarity: Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 3 family. {ECO:0000305}.
